"Instead of 9 to 12 months of manual work, with ABBYY FineReader we completed the project in only 3 months..."
The final reason that convinced us that ABBYY FineReader was the right product was its reliability in converting tables, something critical for us because of the common occurrence of tabular information in our sources. No other tool had the table processing feature as found in ABBYY. Another great benefit was the software's ease of use. We needed a tool that required very little training for our staff before they could get to work. The database could only be created so quickly and efficiently with the help of ABBYY FineReader. Instead of 9 to 12 months of manual work, with ABBYY FineReader we completed the project in only 3 months. The published database has become a real success. In the first two months of the web site being live there have been more than 44000 searches in the database. This is an average of approximately 370 per day, and the interest in our database is only growing.
